Could Jelly Like Stools Be Related To Senna And Iron Tablets?
My mother has been prescribed a senna tablet daily and iron tablets. This week her stools have appeared jelly like - could this be related to either of these medications?
My mother is 86 yrs old, has previously been treated for Chrohns disease, continues to take Asacol tablets daily and 12 months ago had an operation for diverticulitis.
